There was a software glitch affecting about 250 threads in General Discussion [View all]

This discussion thread was locked by Skinner (a host of the Announcements group).

The affected threads were posted roughly between 11:30am ET on Tuesday, Oct 28 and 1:30pm ET Wednesday, Oct 29 (today) in the GD forum only.

We have copied over the affected threads to a bug-free database table, but there will be glitches associated with these threads lingering. These can include bookmark and journal links being broken (delete from your journal/bookmarks, then go back and re-add them), views and recs counter being reset back to 0 (sorry, nothing to be done about it) and a small number of replies being lost.

We apologize for the inconvenience.
